New ReleaseAllison — Voice AI (1/2)

Your Personal Voice AI Assistant

She briefs your daily workflow:

  • Reads daily recommendations: who to reply to, who's cold, clickers, high intent.
  • Summarizes dashboard numbers and team workload instantly.
  • Knows schedule details and recent agent/customer conversation contexts.

She takes action by voice (13 total tools):

  • Create to-dos, set reminders, assign contacts, tag contacts.
  • Send SMS/emails, make outbound calls, and close out conversations.

Feedback & Under the Hood

Frictionless product improvement & UI joy:

  • Actions trigger confetti; dock bar glows purple when active.
  • Conversationally solicits, summarizes, and submits agent feature requests & bugs.

Technical Architecture:

  • WebRTC direct to OpenAI for ultra-low latency response times.
  • Executes through existing frontend action APIs (no major backend rewrite).
  • All sessions are logged for future usage-based billing and analytics.

New ReleaseAgent Pulse (1/2)

Smart Call-to-Action Buckets

Scans history and engagement to tell you exactly who needs attention right now.

  • Respond Now (Red): Waiting on you. Most recent message is inbound. Sorted by unread count and wait time. Your #1 priority to keep them warm.
  • Re-Engage (Orange): Going silent. We messaged them (24h to 7d ago) but they haven't replied. A well-timed follow-up revives the chat.

  • Clicked Link (Green): Clicked a tracked SMS/email link within last 7 days. These contacts are actively evaluating right now.
  • High Intent (Blue): Strong engagement patterns (4+ exchanges, email opens, clicks, or score) without falling into other buckets. Highly likely to convert.
